Generally, it takes about 1-3 months to study, and it is necessary to master not only the basic knowledge of measurement, but also the operation and use of various instruments (level, theodolite, total station, GPS, etc.). However, the length of study is not necessarily proportional to the effect. If you are limited by the teaching environment, training teachers and equipment, and sometimes even pay several times the time, what you have learned is not very complete.

Poor study directly affects future development. Therefore, the most important thing in learning measurement is to study systematically and regularly, and learn how to deal with various problems in actual combat and improve measurement accuracy.

Extended data

Generally speaking, you only learn the operation of measuring instruments and the experience taught by the master, the basic theoretical knowledge of measurement and some measuring software, data processing and data calculation, which you can't learn; Therefore, if you want to further develop, you must further study the measurement technology, which takes a long time. This is the disadvantage of finding a master at the construction site.

The training school specializing in surveying has a complete curriculum, not only learning that, such as road survey, tunnel survey, building survey, mine survey, water conservancy survey, electric power survey, municipal survey, steel structure survey, settlement and displacement survey, drone mapping and so on. And the class hours are short, usually 15-20 days, which greatly saves time.

It depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, if you don't have the foundation to measure this aspect and want to reach this level of going it alone, it will be faster if you are willing to learn and ask questions. Generally speaking, you can finish a project. If you have the theoretical basis of measurement, you only need to work in the field for a period of time and accumulate more construction methods and experience.
